Structural Engineer in Birmingham
Looking for a professional structural engineer in Birmingham? Imperium Engineering provides structural engineering services for homeowners, architects, builders, developers and commercial clients across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
Whether you are removing a load-bearing wall, planning a house extension, converting a loft or investigating cracking or movement, we provide practical structural calculations, surveys and engineering design based on the requirements of your property.
We provide structural engineering support for a wide range of residential and commercial projects, including:
- Structural calculations and design
- Steel beam and RSJ calculations
- Load-bearing wall removal
- House extension structural design
- Loft conversion calculations
- Structural surveys and inspections
- Foundation design
- Roof alterations
- Structural refurbishment
- Structural defect investigations
- Temporary works design
From a single steel beam calculation to structural design for a larger refurbishment or extension, our engineering approach is tailored to the individual project.
Structural calculations may be required when building work changes the existing load-bearing structure of a property.
Imperium Engineering can prepare calculations for steel beams, columns, load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, foundations and structural openings, depending on the project requirements.
If you already have architectural drawings, we can review the proposed arrangement and develop the structural design required for your works.
Our calculations are intended to give your architect, builder and relevant approval professionals the structural information they need to progress the project
Steel Beam & RSJ Calculations
Installing a steel beam is a common requirement when removing a load-bearing wall or creating a larger opening within a property.
The existing structure, loads above the opening, bearing arrangements and supporting elements all need to be considered when designing the solution.
Imperium Engineering can provide steel beam and RSJ calculations for suitable residential and commercial projects across Birmingham.
This can include projects involving:
- Kitchen knock-throughs
- Open-plan renovations
- Internal wall removal
- New door openings
- Extensions
- Structural refurbishment
Load-Bearing Wall Removal in Birmingham
Planning to remove a wall in your Birmingham property?
The first step is understanding whether the wall is carrying structural loads and how those loads will be supported after the alteration.
We can assess the proposed structural alteration and provide the relevant calculations and design information where required.
This can help your builder understand the structural requirements before work begins.
Structural Surveys & Inspections in Birmingham
If you are concerned about cracks, movement, sagging floors, damaged structural elements or other potential structural defects, a structural inspection can help establish what requires further investigation.
Imperium Engineering provides structural surveys and inspections for residential and commercial properties across Birmingham.
Depending on the reason for the inspection, we can assess visible structural elements and provide appropriate engineering observations and recommendations.
The scope of each inspection is determined by the property and the issue being investigated.
Structural Engineering for Birmingham Extensions
Planning a house extension?
An extension can introduce new loads and alter the way the existing building transfers those loads to the ground.
We provide structural engineering support for projects including:
- Rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Two-storey extensions
- Wraparound extensions
- New structural openings
- Roof alterations
- Foundation design
- Supporting beam design
Where architectural drawings are available, we can use them to develop the structural calculations and engineering design required for the proposed works.
Loft Conversion Structural Design
A loft conversion can require significant changes to the existing roof and floor structure.
Depending on the design, structural engineering may be required for new floor joists, beams, roof alterations, dormers, openings and supporting elements.
Imperium Engineering provides structural calculations and design for suitable loft conversion projects in Birmingham.
We consider the existing construction and proposed layout rather than applying a standard structural solution to every property.
Structural Engineering for Birmingham Properties
Birmingham contains a wide range of property types, from older residential terraces and period homes to modern developments and commercial buildings.
The structural requirements of an alteration depend on the existing construction, proposed works and available information.
For this reason, we assess each project individually.
Whether you are renovating a property in Moseley, Harborne, Edgbaston, Sutton Coldfield, Selly Oak or another Birmingham area, our focus is on developing a practical structural solution appropriate to the building and proposed alteration.
Residential & Commercial Structural Engineers
We work with:
- Homeowners
- Landlords
- Architects
- Builders
- Developers
- Commercial property owners
Our residential work includes extensions, loft conversions, renovations, wall removals and other structural alterations.
For commercial projects, we can provide structural assessments, calculations, design and engineering support for refurbishment and alteration works.
Structural Engineer for Birmingham Building Projects
Structural engineering can be required at different stages of a building project.
We can provide engineering input for:
Existing properties
Structural inspections, defect investigations and assessments.
Planned alterations
Wall removals, new openings, extensions and roof alterations.
Design development
Structural calculations and engineering design based on architectural proposals.
Construction
Structural information for your builder and relevant project professionals.
Getting structural requirements considered early can help reduce uncertainty before construction begins.
